I'll have better ones when there's a little more light out. Enjoy

 

Man, that's purdy. Did you paint it yourself?

Tayyab.

 

Very nice..

 

very nice! who did the work?

 

god u ******* make me sick. I love silver, and mine is black

 

Looks great man! Who painted the calipers and what did they use?

 

I have a silver fd for sale, buy it

 

hey there, sexy

did you paint that RX-7 badge red? nice touch
i believe the early japanese FDs were like that, too

 

Looks great! Then again... I'm partial to silver myself!

 

The FD is the only car I like in silver, nice car!

 

you should have really gotten quicksilver from the supra thats a pretty color

 

That looks awesome, when i repaint my car its definetly going to be silver or white!

 

nicccccccccce, what part of NC is that??? looks real familiar!

 

gotta love a fresh paint job on a silver FD. I love that the car is bone stock, externally.

 

Thanks for all the comments on the car. This car is for sale and will probably end up on Ebay and autotrader within the next week or so.

Q&A:

No, a bodyshop in Charlotte painted it.

Thanks, ManPower collision in Charlotte. The painter does A LOT of custom work for shows.

I painted the calipers myself. I just used some hi-temp red engine paint from Advanced auto. After the paint dried, I went back over the Mazda nameplate with a dremel-mounted wire brush wheel and polished it off.

Yep, the bodyshop painted it Porsche red. I saw the silver one in the Yamaguchi book and thought it would be neat since my car does have red interior.

That is a nice color but I am very partial to the Silverstone

 

It's just not practical for me to keep it right now.

 

MmMmm sexy.

btw. 4 star ultimate paint protection x 3 looks great on silver. if you want your car to looks really really dark and deep try meguiars #26 x 2.

 

Thanks for the tip. I definitely have to look into that.

Beautiful!!!

 

Looks GREAT! Did you pay around $3K for the job?

 

Beautiful. That body is so straight and sexy.

 

why sell after you just painted? Would have made more sense to sell before hand. Unless of course you ran into some troubles afterwards, then i understand. Good luck with the sale regardless.

 

^ ding ding!

 

a true quality paint job runs about $5k
